Christmas with the WGP

It's that time of year again and this holiday, we got a REAL, LIVE Christmas tree!!!! Mur and I hiked up to the power lines behind the warehouse and searched out the lucky tree that would become the one and only WGP xmas trees. Actually, Mur was having so much fun that he started calling up all our friends, asking if they needed him to cut down a tree for them. We all joined in the decorating of the tree: Kevin brought some sweet ornaments from Hong Kong. Plastic pieces of meat like a chicken thigh, bacon and shrimp - they would make your mouth water if you saw them!

The saturday before Xmas, we hosted a yet another pot luck dinner party where everyone pulled out their "Sunday best": note Crystal and Jay's Christmas sweaters in the picture. As always, C & J were late and we took to making $2 bets on what time they would arrive. $1 went to the winner and the other $1 went to charity.

Mur and I ended up going to the city to see my family for Christmas which was a day filled with eating, presents, eating, toboganning, eating and then more eating! Once again, another Christmas filled with good times!

Night Biking in December

Okay, okay, so it might be minus 20 outside and there's no snow but that doesn't maen there we're not having good times. So because there's been no snow, we decided to pull out our bikes for one last ride and go for a night bike to Cheakamus Lake Believe it or not, it wasn't too hard to find other people crazy enough as me to drag out of their cozy houses and pedal in the freezing cold and dark.

Along our travels, there was actually more snow than we predicted and we ended up pushing our bikes through the snow. Most of the trail was still rideable (but you also have to factor in the thick fog and the huge mud puddles). BUT a good time was had by all and there were huge grins on our faces by the end.

Tis The Season of Dinner Parties

'Tis the Season of Dinner Parties

It's that time of year again! I think that this blog should count as about ten since we've been hosting/attending so many dinner parties and we've been having so much fun at them that we forget to take pics. Here's a pic from a recent party. Kerry and Pete brought their new dog, "Ty" and Jay's brother, Dave, and his girlfriend were in town at the time too. We had a yummy potluck dinner and then played a card game called "Werewolf". When you get back, if you're lucky, we'll teach it to you.

Good Times in Florida

So Mur and I went to visit his parents who just bought a poshe condo on a key in Florida. Sun and sand...so good. Obviously, I don't really have to say anything else because you know partying with the Hunt family is always a good time, but I will continue. Lots of good food and drinking everyday. Each day we'd cruise over in the convertible mustang to go check out the white sand beach and clear blue skies on the beach. At point we would end up swimming in the hot tub/pool, going for bike rides around the local masions and apres. Mur parents rented us a pontoon bloat where we drove down the intercoastal and we saw dolphins! That's the first time I ever seen then in the wild. And the sunsets were unreal. All the birds would come out at sunset and dive bomb the water - super cool to watch. So, as I saw this, I thought of you and "cheersed" us for all the good times we've been having. Well, that would sum up our "super, busy, stressful, non-fun" week in Florida.
